About Us

At Holly Bank Care Home in Carnforth, we provide a warm and homely environment where older people can feel genuinely settled and supported. Nestled in Westmorland and Furness, we are proud to be part of the local community and to offer care that truly centres on the individual.

We specialise in residential care, dementia care and respite care, and we take time to understand each person who comes to live with us or who stays for a shorter period. Everyone has their own story, their own routines and their own preferences, and we do our best to honour that from day one. Whether someone is moving in permanently or joining us for a period of respite, we want them to feel at ease and at home.

For those living with dementia, we know how important familiarity, patience and consistency are. Our approach is calm and person centred, and we work closely with families to make sure we understand what matters most to the people in our care.

Our team genuinely cares about the wellbeing of every resident, not just in terms of physical health but in terms of happiness, dignity and a sense of belonging. We encourage residents to stay connected with the things they enjoy and to maintain relationships with the people who matter to them.

We are pleased that our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission resulted in a rating of good, which we feel reflects the effort our whole team puts in day to day. That said, we never stand still and are always looking at how we can do things better.

If you are considering Holly Bank for yourself or for someone you love, we would warmly welcome you to come and visit us and see the home for yourself.
